Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Sairam, This is such a beautiful message........Its really touched my heart thanks for sharing it with us.... It is so true that We take our mothers so much for granted all the time..... and when she is not around U miss her and realize all that u have done to her and how she has always smiled and forgiven us saying "she is just a kid she will grow up." with out frowing even once when she has taking it all and still ALWAYS gone out of the way to take care of us... I got married 6 months back and now staying away from my mother I realise how much rude I used to be with her and always assumed that she is going to be with me always !!!! With Just one HELLO on the phone she can know whats up at my end whether I am happy, Sad ....upset about something... Enthu about something that i have to tell her and God she has so much patience... I wonder whether I can ever be like her. THERE CAN NEVER BE A BETTER FRIEND THAN A MOTHER ... I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN IT .. Thanks again for sharing this message...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Note: forwarded message attached. Tue, 24 May 2005 13:36:07 +0400 Neeraj Verma sairam2201 saibaba_news Unconditional Love SaiRam to all brothers and sisters.. THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to see me. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I had him take a seat,knowing it would be over an hour before I would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and felt bit bad about it. If I was not busy with another appointment, I would have spent time with him. While I was checking what he had written (he wanted me to read his article before sending it to the newspaper), we began to engage in conversation I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired about her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease. As we talked, and I finished reading his story, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him. "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he patted my hand and said. "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life." True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. Just had to share it with you all. Sai Baba, please help us reach this state.
